- A manually operated turntable ferry in Scotland is the last surviving in the world.
The MV Glenachulish’s unique design allows it to navigate the challenging tidal conditions of the Kylerhea Narrows between the Scottish mainland and the Isle of Skye.
Up to six cars can be transported on its deck, which the crew rotate by hand when it reaches its slipway.
The vessel - which is more than 50 years old - was saved in 2007 when it was bought by the local community after its long-time skipper retired.

Tom Scott covered this a year ago
She is so eloquent
Tom Scott did a great video on this.
What an amazing survival! Never knew there was such a thing.
Tom Scott did this a few years ago
I hope you can keep going. I avoided the bridge, because it's 'Over the sea to Skye'
A very unique vessel and a great story Thank you
that's really
Not bad for great Scotland and for the UK 👍🏻
I've been on many, many ferries in the largest ferry system in the world (Washington State, USA) but never anything like THIS! I love it!
are you a smuggler by any chance?
@@walkman1984 _"Smugglers drink of the Frenchman's wine,_
_And the darkest night is the smuggler's time._
_Away we ran from the excise man,_
_It's a smuggler's life for me, it's a smuggler's life for me."_
(The McCalmans, 1975)
_“I've been on many, many ferries in the largest ferry system in the world (Washington State, USA)…”_
BC Ferries has a larger fleet of 41 vessels, serving 47 communities from 27 routes - twice the size of Washington State Ferries with its 21 vessels serving 21 communities on 12 routes.
WSF routes ae confined predominantly to the Puget Sound with one route serving Anacortes, Wash. (USA), Friday Harbor, San Juan Islands (USA) and Sidney, BC (Canada) on southern Vancouver Island. BCF serves the entire BC coast from Swartz Bay (just north of Sidney) on southern Vancouver Island (it's southern most terminal) to Prince Rupert on BC's north coast (it's northern most terminal) as well as Haida Gwaii. The longest BC Ferry route-the “Inside Passage”-is between Port Hardy on northern Vancouver Island and Prince Rupert at 273 nautical miles (506 km or 314 mi). A far cry from the WSF commuting links between Seattle and the west shore of Puget Sound.
BC Ferries also operates the longest cable ferry in the world at almost 1900 m in length, between Vancouver Island and Denman Island in the Strait of Georgia (Salish Sea).
So no… WSF _is not_ the “largest ferry system in the world”-not by a long shot.
@@MelioraCogito Lol. Size isn’t everything when it comes to ‘ferry systems’, y’know.🤣
@@titteryenot4524 Please do elucidate to me, what _“largest ferry system in the world”_ means in your clearly limited comprehension of the meaning of “system” (or “size”)?!?
Let me make it perfectly clear, I make no claim that BC Ferries is _“the largest ferry system in the world”,_ only that it has a significantly larger “system”, as pertaining to routes, vessels and communities served, than WS Ferries.
And before I Googled it, I would have conceded that WS Ferries has a larger ridership volume than BC Ferries, by virtue of its daily commuter service to/from Seattle and the west shore of Puget Sound - turns out they have almost a similar annual passenger volume, with WS Ferries falling short by a little more than half a million passengers to BC Ferries 17.9 million passengers carried in 2022 (WS Ferries carried 17.375 million passengers that same year).
So again, what does “largest” mean to you, if not “size”? 🤦♂
Beautiful, charming short film BBC, thank you.
I've used this Glenelg ferry several times, going over to climb in the Cuillins.
Fabulous.
As for the majority of the rest of this comments section, a travesty.
Tom Scott was here first lol
The way things are going here, this may soon be the only west coast ferry that works! Beautiful place, great experience using that road to Skye.
Lovely.
Remember these at Corran when I was a kid!! Amazing. Remember being “over the water” as you turned around half way across.
Thanks for the documentary
Tom Scott flashback.
Travelling by ship is my favourite mode of transport😅.
I love to listen to a female Scottish accent. It's quite close to a singing voice. What a lovely lassie.
What a lovely boat. 😊
would be better if they served haggis on it
@@astroboirap Did haggis come with the Vikings? I know many word did, different from English.
@@larsrons7937 well, it's similar to a few dishes made from sheep's innerds. I know the Icelandics have "slatur".
@@astroboirap Yes. I never tasted the dish, but I understand it's very similar. So maybe it came with the Vikings. Or maybe the Vikings brought it from Scotland to Iceland. We don't know. But it's likely that there is a connection.
Took the ferry last week. Really a piece of smart engineering.
Honestly why don't the BBC just employ Tom Scott and give him full freedom to produce his videos under them.
So many BBC videos such as this one have been covered in a more entertaining and informative way by Tom
She is lovely. And the ferry not bad either!
Smashing stuff.
Thanks
That is such beautiful countryside. Greetings from Calgary...Canada.
First broadcast by the BBC I've seen in years without a token BAME in it.
Aaaay mate 👌 more videos around Scotland please

Always been my favourite way of getting to and from Skye!
Made the crossing on it many many times and was even allowed the honour of going below deck once to see the magnificent Kelvin engine that powers her.
Long may she survive and we'll be crossing on her again in a couple of months❤❤
Good old Kelvin diesels. Long gone now sadly.
@@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524
Indeed, but their legend lives on in many a boat.
I was on a tiny ferry to an island in Loch Lommond from Balmaha and the engine was a little 3 cylinder Kelvin.
She ran beautifully too.
Proper engineering!!👍👍
@@WeeShoeyDugless Oh absolutely. Lovely old things. I think a lot of the wee Island class ferries were re-engined with Scanias thoough sadly. Parts I guess.
Great clip, its why I like youtube, learn something new everyday, well done
Great solution! New to me also. Keeping it simple is often the best. Sadly more and more some push forward very complex and expencive solutions
Many, many decades ago, (about 5!) I watched the last ferry of the day make the crossing and a piper at the bow played a pibroch as it travelled. Wonder if that was a one-off I was lucky to encounter or a daily ritual?
Currently at Kishorn.
I love this!
I love it too
Why was this ever built? just build a ramp at either end of the ship!?!
There's a people and few cars only ferry from Balboa island to New port beach,ca. Ferry goes to the Newport beach peninsula, the Pacific ocean. Ferry always has people on it!!

Many people are divorced, broken up in love, and still scolding their past lovers. Master Lu tells you that life is a train that never returns. From the start to the end, no one who gets on and off the train will accompany you through your whole life. Be grateful to them and cherish their company with you these times spent.
Thanks for your Bomb
@@mozdickson wise words indeed; I have found them to be true and base my life on such sentiments.
That seals it: Skye here I come! (a few hundreds years after my forbears left I high add!) I shall walk onto the ferry, walk around the fair Isle, and board teh ferry homeward bound --- from NZ
Built by Noble's of Fraserburgh. They used to be used on the Kessock Ferry before the Bridge was built at Inverness, North & South Ballachulish and elsewhere.
Not correct she was built by Ailsa Shipbuilding, Troon in 1969. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Glenachulish
@@GCStalker My apologies. I've now read the Wikipedia article however I distinctly remember in the 1970s crossing from N Balachulish on a turntable ferry which had a plate "Built by A Noble, Boatbuilders, Fraserburgh" and also at S Kessock near Inverness.
Outdone by its competitors no doubt
Hang On… Did One Like That Do Scalpay - Kyles Scalpay?
A wonderful piece of engineering, need and history...
The cross river ferries powered only by the river are also epic (on a wire)
How do you beat-ships if you've only got one? 🤣
this feels like it should be a tom scott video...
it already is. He's done a video about it almost two years ago (even though TH-cam says 1 year ago)
👍
Wow its amazing and reliable will prob ne replaced by some evil diesel monster

What?
56 The kingdom of the Heavens is like a headmaster who gave his teachers a new teaching method. And he raised their salaries. Then he asked a young man to teach them the new method. And he left. Later, the headmaster came back and found the teachers still teaching the old method. Then, he got very angry and shouted, saying, "Why are you still teaching the old method? Why are you doing that?
57 And the headmaster asked the young man to write the new method on the board in front of the teachers. The young man went and drew symbols on the board in the form of struck-out words and signatures mixed with Arabic writings. And the headmaster shouted, saying, "Is this not the method I told you to teach? Why do you refuse to obey me?" And several teachers, seeing the struck-out words on the board and fearing they would be thrown in prison, fled and went into the bush in search of gold.

Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective. I'm trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I'm 60, therefore I need suggestions on what investments to make.
Yes i agree with you with the need to hire a financial advisor to help you diversify your portfolio by including Mutual Funds, Etf's, the 11 GICS groups, inflation-indexed bonds, and stocks of companies with reliable cash flows rather than growth stocks, where prices were based on future prospective earnings. Following these principles and insights from my CFP, from 2020 to date I have made around $900,000.
Incredible!! A great start to financial freedom! How can i reach this financial planner of yours?
I found his webpage and I wrote him an email and i hope he responds soon. I plan to start Q2 2023 on the right foot financially.
46 All the prophets and anointed ones manifest Christ, but the prophet messengers are the only legislators of the word. It is to them that God's commandments for mankind come. The book of Song of Songs and the book of Psalms are books of minor prophets.
47 Minor prophets or sons of the prophets have always existed on earth in every generation and in the time of every prophet. 1 Samuel 10:10 says that Saul met a company of prophets, and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 1 Samuel 19:20 says that a company of prophets were prophesying, and Samuel was their leader. And throughout Israel's history, there have been sons of the prophets.
58 The Bible is a second-hand clothes container of second-hand clothes. But without the revelation, the Message can also be a bale of end-of-line second-hand clothes. And if, after Kacou 155, a preacher still preaches to you using the old method, you must know that he is distributing end-of-line second-hand clothes to you for the wedding of the Lamb. And you must tell him that second-hand clothes do not enter paradise. The young man represents the minor prophets. And an assembly that continues in the old way is an orthodox church. And a sign in front of the door of this orthodox church indicated a fine of 0.08 dollars with many other sanctions to anyone who enters it.
12 Today, in this 21st century, nobody can be saved unless by me, prophet Kacou Philippe who is speaking to you. And John 3:16 today is: For God so loved the world, that he gave his beloved prophet, Prophet Kacou Philippe, that whosoever believes in him may not perish, but have eternal Life. The Lord Jesus Christ was a man like me speaking to you today and you cannot pretend that you would have believed in Jesus Christ when He was on earth if you don’t believe in me today.

Yes and me too investing is the fastest way to Financial freedom. It's not too late to start preparing for a financially and secured future, investing is building wealth,
Scottish scenery is overrated. I say that as a Scot. It’s bleak, treeless, often grey and can’t compete with at least 100 other countries that instantly spring to mind.
Eastern Washington state in the US, and Mt St Helens too, are both bleak, treeless and gray but they're still a harsh beauty. There're several types of beautiful scenery.
@@just_kos99 Yeah, but I don’t get those who rave about Scottish scenery. Comparatively, it’s deeply underwhelming. You mention Canada (or just over the border from Canada) where in that *exact* region you have several staggering mountains (including St Helen’s, although not quite as large and spectacular as the mountains surrounding it) towering over 4,000m while all Scotland can manage is a wee hill called Ben Nevis at about 1,300m. Never got the ‘Scotland is stunningly beautiful’ thang. It’s mildly attractive, at best.
Hugh, it’s not all about size my friend 😉
@@ewan8947 When it comes to mountains, it is, chummo.😉 ⛰
@@titteryenot4524 Haha, well depends how you measure them I guess. Jokes aside though I get why you don’t see the beauty in Scotland. It’s hard to appreciate something you’re completely familiar with. Which is a shame. Canada, New Zealand etc are more dramatic in scale for sure. That’s obviously not the only factor though. Scotland has many other qualities that give it it’s own unique beauty and charm. The mountains are smaller yes but that’s because they’re also many millennia older with some very unique formations as a result. You’re not going to see medieval castles in misty sea lochs or prehistoric stone circles/ settlements in Canada or New Zealand ether. Not to detract from them, they’re both absolutely stunning! Just worth baring in mind what makes each place unique.
